#1: Into the spirit.  This car was parked outside an Abdoun Restaurant


 
# 2 - We went to see this Christmas concert.  The story was about a young boy and girl in Bethlehem who sent a message to Santa with their desired list of gifts.  Santa sends them the gifts, but the gifts get stuck at an Israeli checkpoint and aren't allowed to get through.


 
# 3 - My little boy finds Amman's worst decorated and most anemic Christmas tree.
